Hi Kim,

What I notice that her head seems fuller on one side (the left) She seems to

have a curve on that side of her head in the back, while the back right seems

flatter. Do you have a top view looking down of her head? That might show

something too. You can also look from above to see if her ears are off (one more

forward or higher than the other). I would definitely get it checked. Tort is a

huge contributor to plagio, and she definitely has tort.

Both San Diego and VA have cranial tech offices (the VA one is in the DC

suburbs). Japan or WA will be harder in terms of treatment, from what I know.
